The Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins square off in Game 7 on Wednesday. Here’s how you can watch via live stream. 

Game 7 between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins should be one of the most exciting NHL playoff games of all-time. Both teams are fighting for their playoff lives and they share a mutual disdain for each other. The Caps will host the Penguins in Game 7 on Wednesday at the Verizon Center with the puck dropping at around 7:30 p.m. ET.

Captain Alex Ovechkin leads Washington as they look to advance to the conference finals for the first time since 1998. Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov lead an impressive group of centers. Andre Burakovsky has been the beneficiary of a recent lineup change, moving all the way up to the top forward line with Backstrom and T.J. Oshie. Braden Holtby looks to help his team get over their biggest playoff hurdle in the Penguins.

On the other side of the ice, Pittsburgh is looking for a much better effort in Game 7 than they saw in Game 6. Despite having home ice advantage, the Penguins saw the Caps jump out to a 5-0 lead. Only two garbage time goals kept them from being shutout at home. It falls on Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel, Sidney Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury to carry their team into the conference finals to face the Ottawa Senators.

The Capitals have overcome a 3-1 series deficit to get themselves into a position to win the series. However, without a Game 7 win, their effort will be for naught. The Penguins look to potentially put an end to the Caps as fans know them.
